Do we dismiss the mental harm it would cause to have a daily reminder that someone [raped] you?

Of course I don't dismiss that. But you say this as if aborting such a pregnancy would actually do anything to meaningfully reduce that trauma. You need counseling/therapy regardless.

Stop comparing.

Generally speaking, this is not a productive thing to say to someone who has fewer rights than you do.

Make no mistake, I want everyone to have full rights here—and in cases where it's literally impossible for one of the sexes to have right X because of the biological realities and/or recognized bodily sovereignty (e.g. males would obviously make no use of a right to terminate their own pregnancy, nor should they be able to dictate whether any pregnant person terminate or not terminate the pregnancy), they should be legally afforded the closest equivalent possible.

Just argue for what you want without punch down. Women are not your enemy.

Your implication is frankly offensive. This is not, at all, a fair characterization of anything I've said here.
